Saw this while surfing the web tonight - hmmmmm....not quite sure what to think of this, other than I'm glad I don't live in southern Hungary, where the crazy folks seem to be hungry for pigs via pig snatching tom-foolery! How does something like this go down? "No, officer, those aren't our pigs squashed in here. We're not sure how they got in here, but they aren't ours, and we didn't do it." Thank goodness for the ace reporting skills of a certain Ms. Krisztina Than who shed light on this!

BUDAPEST (Reuters) – Two thieves were caught in southern Hungary with 12 pigs stuffed in their small van during a routine traffic check, Hungarian police said on Thursday.
Police stopped two men in a Renault Kangoo near the town of Szigetvar, about 220 km (137 miles) south of Budapest, as they attempted to drive off.
"The pigs weighed about 25-30 kg (55-66 lb) each -- they were really squashed into the car very tightly," a spokesman said.
Police said the pigs came from a nearby farm, where 35 pigs have gone missing in recent days.
